Whats wrong with my Pink Grapefruit Tree?


Question

pink grapefruit tree
I have two Miniature Pink Grapefruit trees, over 10 yrs. old. Last year right before the spring, I pruned both the same. One did exactly what I wanted it to, exploded upward with new branches & green leaves, and an abundance of fruit. The other did nothing. In fact it appears to have stayed frozen in time, from the day I pruned it. It hasn't grown any new branches, new leaves, or any fruit. It used to be the better of the two grapefruit trees. I've cared for both trees exactly the same way. I don't know what to do. Can you please help me. I've included photos. Let me know if you need any other info or photos. Thank you sincerely, R Cerra

Hi Robert, Looks like it could use some epsom salts for a quick fix for the yellow leaves.  Use a good fertilizer that is slow release.  I would also check out Atomic Grow which is organic to bring it back to health and keep it that way.  Will also help the blooms to come out and put more sugar in your plant which will bring more nectar for the bees to pollinate, make your fruit sweeter and keep fungus off it.  kathy
